We cannot make it all case sensitive, e.g. scheme and authority are case 
insensitive.  For examples,

- [hTTps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2316] - works
- https://iSSues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2316 - works
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/BRowse/HDFS-2316 - does not works

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  However, hftp is a 
> read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem 
> implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  The is the umbrella JIRA for 
> the tasks.
